Hertha Duo Start as Germany U20 Beat Czechs 2–1 in Berlin

The outing doubled as a fitness check for two prospects before Hertha's season run-in.

Overview

  • The German U20s won 2-1 in Berlin, where Hertha pair Pascal Klemens and Bayern loanee Maurice Krattenmacher started.
  • Klemens lined up at center back, mis-hit a backpass that nearly gave up a goal, and left the match at halftime.
  • His call-up followed a new Hertha contract through 2028 after a March spell out of first-team squads during negotiations.
  • Krattenmacher, easing back from a late-January thigh injury, was active on the left with four shots before his 67th-minute substitution.
  • Hertha staff, including sport coordinator Sami Allagui, observed in a sold-out Poststadion of 4,900 as the club gauges options for a late-season push with promotion still seven points away.
